Any word on Jogia's appeal or did the SPA pull their £10k?

Before you say innocent punters get hurt if a player throws a match for financial gain, then the same applies to punters who lose money on a match where a player throws a match just so he can get a plane home sooner.
That is in fact a good point
sport stars should put their Heart and Soul in to every match they play they not only conning bookmakers but they conning people who paid good money believing in them.

for me its more interesting that Stephen Lee and Joe Jogia was Suspended but Thepchaia Un-Nooh wasent.
so its not a Blanket Rule of Suspicion Betting Pattern=Suspension.

Indeed it's not.
Jogia wasn't suspended immediately, he was only after the Unit had examined some of the evidence and found that they had ground enough to suspend him.
Lee wasn't suspended on October 5, as soon as the Unit got to examine the evidence related to the 2010 case, but - probably - a new occurrence of suspicious betting around the same player triggered their decision after the PL match.

It's very difficult for fans to bet logically rather than emotionally. When you've made a bet on your favorite and lost you've inflicted a double wound. 1st you lost your bet and 2nd your fav player/team got beat.
IMO leave sports betting alone if you're unable to make your bets based on logic or you'll be a very unhappy person.

I know a lot of peeps do that, but I feel wrong doing it. LIke the advert says you feel dirty bet against your own team.

I have no doubt Jamie Burnett would be down Sauciehall Jobcentre now protesting against The Tories, and shouting 'Devolution' if Rodney Walker hadn't been in charge when he was missing simple blacks by a foot and a half.
Ferrer is a gambler's dream, in that he always gives a 100% in every tournament and has a great attitude. The nearest we have in snooker to Ferrer is probably Mark Selby.

when i do it i do it not to win money but to jinx the opposition or opponent so the player / team i want to win.
its just a bonus / insurance policy to cover your dissapointment should your favourite lose, then at least you win some cash to make up for it.
Take the WC for example, i bet on Robbo to beat Ronnie in the QF but there was no way i was cheering on Robbo or annoyed my bet lost

I believe they are now also concerned with pattern's on his other PL matches as well.

So even if he was innocent, which looks dodgy, why would he not try his heart out on every shot. Beggars belief. Especially for a guy who is very much on the up and winning decent prize money right now.
I know I'm a broken kin record on the subject, but I personally wouldn't give this commission any credibility until it bans Burnett who was banged to absolute rights guilty. I don't care if Hearn wasn't in charge then. We all have youtube...
I also don't care about the guilty till proven innocent bit. Even if Lee is innocent he deserves a ban for pure stupidity, as did Higgins.
